I had a great time at last weekend’s Dallas NoFluffJustStuff symposium. I was so busy putting together the presentations, I didn’t have a chance to mention it ahead of time here. I’m also slated for the Atlanta and Denver instances. The three talks in my current set are on Expressive Code, a JMX case study, and I/O performance tuning.

One of the best things about these conferences are the hallway discussions. All the speakers are very accessible both in and out of the sessions. I almost gave away Stuart Halloway’s classloading talk (good thing he shut me up quickly :-) and Ted Neward had some great input during the QA of my JMX talk when a question was asked about some overlap between the things JMX and Aspects are good at.

Kirk Pepperdine has talked me into preparing an article for an upcoming issue of the Java Performance Tuning newsletter based on a performance hack I talked about in that talk. I’ll put a note here once it’s published, but you could always go get yourself subscribed in the meantime.
